120 jobs on the way as speculative development completes
A new 103,947 sq ft speculative unit has been completed at St. Modwen Park in Burton-on-Trent, which once occupied could provide around 120 jobs.
The unit, which fronts the A38 to the south of the town, includes 10 dock levellers (including 2 euro-docks), a 50 m deep yard and Grade A office space.
GMI Construction carried out building work on the project.
Rob Richardson, senior development manager at St. Modwen Industrial & Logistics, said: “St. Modwen Park Burton is one of our key sites and a significant asset for the business. Our third phase of development expands the scheme’s offering, allowing us to meet market demand for quality, well-located space in the region. Our decision to speculatively build the 103,000 sq ft unit demonstrates our confidence both in the attractiveness of the scheme and in the wider industrial and logistics market.”
Katie Monks, associate director at Savills, added: “The first two phases at St. Modwen Park Burton proved to be incredibly popular. With high demand for quality space in excellent locations from manufacturers and logistics firms, we’re confident this new unit will attract another high-calibre occupier very soon.”
St Modwen Park Burton – one of the largest warehouse developments in the Midlands – has outline consent for one million sq ft and is now home to a number of established occupiers, including Hellman Worldwide Logistics, Keylite Roof Windows, Supply Technologies and London City Bond.
